In financially strapped Argentina, a nation finds a television
star they can believe in and identify with: Samy Goldstein,
a neurotic, depressed writer whose girlfriend treats him like
dirt. Propelled to stardom by the sexy and enigmatic Mary, Samy
is just as miserable rich and famous as he was poor and a failure.
His misery is only multiplied as the show grows more popular,
his face becomes ubiquitous on posters around Buenos Aires,
his mother begins making guest appearances on the show and his
relationship with Mary becomes more complicated than Samy's
confused psyche. Ricardo Darin (from the Oscar nominated Son
of the Bride) stars as a Latino-Jewish Woody Allen seeking
contentment in a comically dark universe.
